Erin was born and raised in New Orleans, where her vibrant hometown sparked her passion for the arts, including music, dance, and theater. She studied Neuroscience and Anthropology at the University of Arizona in Tucson, where she reasearched spatial memory in rats and discovered her love of education through a job teaching computer programming. After college, she spent several years working in an OB/GYN clinic and fell in love with the opportunities for education and advocacy in the field. Erin then moved to Phoenix for medical school at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, where she served her community through a volunteer program teaching pregnancy classes to local teens and provided prenatal care at a night clinic for medically underserved patients. After seeing the impact of abortion restrictions on Arizona patients, she worked with Medical Students for Choice to increase community engagement in reproductive advocacy work. She also developed research projects at the interface of obstetrics and neurosurgery, aiming to improve perinatal care for patients with neurological conditions. She is particularly passionate about medical education and reproductive justice and is interested in a career in academic medicine. Outside of the hospital, Erin enjoys spending time with her husband and two cats, trying new restaurants, and seeing independent movies. She loves spending time in nature and is excited to explore the beautiful Pacific Northwest after spending over a decade in the Arizona desert!
